Raw Description
Based on the photoacoustic and ultrasonic imaging technic, PATECH LIMITED can | provide the customers with the service including of the setup and development of | imaging system, clinical pathology research, in vivo animal imaging, medical | support services, software support and data processing. Photoacoustic imaging is | novel biomedical imaging technic with advantages of optical high spatial | resolution, high absorption contrast, deep imaging penetration depth and | functional parameter measurement. Nowadays, PATECH LIMITED have developed | multiple biomedical imaging systems consisting of fast single-light-source multiwavelength | optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy (OR-PAM), | photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT), and high energy focused ultrasonic | (HIFU) therapy. We can realize the multi-functional imaging of living animal, which | provides the technic support for in vivo pathologic study. | Description | An optical ultrasonic and photoacoustic microscope and related accessories. || Product | PATECH LIMITED have developed multiple biomedical imaging systems consisting | of fast single-light-source multi-wavelength optical-resolution photoacoustic | microscopy (OR-PAM), photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT), and high | energy focused ultrasonic (HIFU) therapy. Fast single-light-source multiwavelength | OR-PAM can realize the simultaneous functional imaging of | hemoglobin concentration, oxygen saturation and blood flow speed. PACT | combines real-time linear and rotating scanning method, resulted in lower cost | compared with other present commercial system. And PACT system is very flexible | which can integrate other system (e.g. ultrasonic imaging system and HIFU therapy | system), which can provide the photoacoustic imaging, ultrasonic imaging and HIFU | noninvasive therapy for the same location in the target.

Strategic Analysis

Executive Brief

PATech Limited specializes in high-precision biomedical imaging systems, specifically bridging the gap between optical and ultrasonic technologies. Their portfolio includes Optical-Resolution Photoacoustic Microscopy (OR-PAM), Photoacoustic Computed Tomography (PACT), and High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU). Their systems rely on high-energy laser delivery and ultrasonic transduction for deep-tissue, real-time functional imaging and non-invasive therapy.

Strategic Fit & Lead Score

Lead Score: 74 (Adjacent Tech / Strong Potential)

Why this Score? PATech’s core technologies—OR-PAM and HIFU—are limited by two physics-based bottlenecks: Thermal damage to transducers/optics and Acoustic impedance matching. 6C's CVD Diamond offers the world’s highest thermal conductivity for HIFU cooling and the highest acoustic velocity for high-frequency ultrasonic resolution. As PATech scales for clinical "fast" imaging, the thermal load on their laser windows and ultrasonic arrays will exceed the limits of traditional materials like quartz or sapphire.

6C Solutions Proposal

Application Area 6C Solution Technical Value Prop
Laser Exit Windows SCD/PCD Optical Grade Diamond Eliminates "thermal lensing" in multi-wavelength OR-PAM. Diamond's 2000 W/mK conductivity ensures the beam profile remains stable even at high repetition rates.
HIFU Transducers PCD Heat Spreaders HIFU generates extreme localized heat at the transducer head. Diamond spreaders allow 3-5x higher power densities without piezo-element failure or de-bonding.
Acoustic Matching PCD Thin-Film Coating Diamond has an exceptionally high acoustic velocity (approx. 18,000 m/s). Direct coating on transducers can optimize the impedance bridge for ultra-high-frequency (UHF) ultrasound.
Biocompatible Probes Custom SCD/PCD Coating For in-vivo or clinical pathology tools, diamond provides a chemically inert, low-friction, and biocompatible surface that prevents protein fouling.
System Capability MPCVD Reactor Sales Enables PATech to develop proprietary "Diamond-on-Transducer" or "Diamond-on-Fiber" patents in-house for their next-generation clinical systems.

Engagement Hooks

  • Technical Question: "As PATech pushes for faster, multi-wavelength OR-PAM, how are you currently managing the refractive index shifts caused by thermal buildup in your exit optics? Would a window with 10x the thermal conductivity of Sapphire accelerate your scan rates?"
  • Value Statement: "6C can help PATech double the power output and lifespan of your HIFU therapy heads by integrating CVD diamond heat spreaders that outperform copper by 400%."
